We hope ye're a' our friends as yet,

Guid night, and joy be wi' you a'!"

—Burns.

"Boadicea."

Written And Produced By MR. L. P. Leary.

"Men nudge each other—thus—and say,

'This certainly is Shakespeare's son!'

And merry wags (of course in play),

Cry, 'Author!' when the piece is done.

In presenting the extravaganza "Boadicea," we wish to disclaim all intention of local, religious, or political satire. We hasten to assert that the Queen does not represent a phase of the Woman Suffrage movement, and we might look long before finding any trace of resemblance between mighty Caesar and Sir Joseph Ward (Bart ). We write of greater things. John Bull as a civilising force is easily the most active in the world, but when surveying his motives in this respect he is an inveterate optimist. If we read history aright there is little material difference between the colonising ethics of Pagan Rome and Christian England—and so our extravaganza.
